Good morning, Papa God!
This morning as I sit here and read Your Word, some questions floated to the surface of my mind. I read statements like:
- “The deep things of God”
- “Strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man … that you … may be able to comprehend what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”
What are the deep things of God? How deeply can I know You? Can this earthly, finite vessel really hold all the fullness of God? What does it mean to comprehend the full width, length, depth, and height of Your love?
It truly boggles my mind as to how this can be, Papa God. The more I seem to know about You through the study of Your Word and through experience, the less I feel I know from an intellectual perspective. It’s the finite trying to understand the infinite! But the Holy Spirit, living within me (the fullness of You in me), causes me to know, trust, and believe far beyond what my finite perspective can do. It is a mystery how You do this within Your children, but You do! By Your Spirit within me, You reveal Yourself to me. It is my determined purpose to know You, to recognize, to perceive, and to understand the wonders of Your Person more deeply and more clearly with each passing day.
My child,
It is both a mystery and a miracle. You are full of Me because of My Spirit living within you. He reveals Me to you. He speaks My truth to you. He reveals the deep things of Me to you. You have all of Me within you – all the power that raised My Son Jesus to life resides in you. That is why He said to His disciples – “greater things that these you will do”. Most of My children do not utilize even a drop of that power in their daily lives. By faith, I accomplish much in a life. I cannot do mighty works in a life without faith. My Word states that you will receive power, My power, when the Holy Spirit comes and dwells within you. He gives life … intercedes … comforts … teaches … searches your heart … gives wisdom … reveals Me. No one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit living within a soul. Listen, follow, and obey Him. He will take to the great depths of Me. We are one! The three of us – Father, Son, and Spirit – are individual persons but one! Yes, this is also a mystery. But one that by faith, I reveal to My children. Continue to grow in the knowledge of Who I AM!
